Great idea, it didn't even occur to me. As I was about to remove the adapter, I realized I had a second unused NIC, so I thought I'd try it out, and as soon as the cable was plugged in to the other NIC, the dialog box opened right up and I was able to re-enable ipv6. Thanks!

No problem. I completely understand, been there. Sometimes you just need another person to look at the issue that is not directly involved.

I was testing a theory on an SBS 2008 server (running Exchange) and unchecked the ipv6 protocol in networking. After a reboot, the network adapter appears &quot;offline,&quot; and I can't re-enable ipv6 because the dialog box I just disabled it from hangs when I try to open it.<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated.

Disabled ipv6 on SBS 2008, now I can't re-enable

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
